I have just completed a similar project on a Ford Focus textured parts .. I scuffed everything with a maroon scotchbrite pad and scrubbed it well. Next was adhesion promoter followed by three coats epoxy primer filler. Sanded with 180 and then 400.. Painted with two coats of two pack 4 to 1 JET black gloss. Looks fantastic

How do we remove the paint?

Great detailed video 👍🏼 I’m getting everything ready to paint the plastic trim around my Model X , I just don’t know if I’m doing Glossy black on the trim or color match it to pearl white

Thanks for the support! I would def go color matched pearl white if it was my car #colormatchtheworld

You think I would be able to do this process with all the fenders and trim on a Honda element? Been dying to paint my panels and fenders but don’t want the texture popping thru

Absolutely, this will work with any textured plastic pieces, you can also spray them with primer surfacer after sanding and sand them smooth the next day with 320 & 600 grit again before spraying your sealer, paint, and clear just to be certain it’s nice and smooth, but you can do this process that I did here to skip the primer surfacer, hope this helps!
